The Municipal Theatre is one of the center’s clearest surviving statements of French colonial civic design. Its decorated facade is rewarding from the street, while a performance turns an architectural stop into an evening inside the building. The theatre’s later use as a South Vietnamese assembly chamber adds another chapter to its story.
